The X-Ray Microscopy Facility Project at the ESRF

摘要

A beamline dedicated to X-ray imaging and spectro-microscopy in the 0.2-6.0 keV energy range is under construction at the ESRF. This beamline is installed on a low beta straight section equipped with three phaseable undulators and will consist of two branch lines: the first, a scanning microscope including various contrast modes; the second, an imaging full-field microscope using Zernike phase contrast. The scanning microscope will be equipped with 2 fixed-exit high resolution monochromators (crystal/multilayer monochromator and plane grating monochromator). Both microscopes will use high resolution zone plates as focusing elements. The design of this beamline is discussed with emphasis on the optical layout and on heat load management.
